Babe Jackson provides two services here at Tiny Babe's Playhouse Child Care, childcare and tutoring services. TBP is a home away from home for your child(ren) ages 0-6 yrs old. It is also our TBP Fast Track Tutoring location for students in need of catching up or wanting to remain above average and academically polished. We adore children of all ages. Those between the ages of infancy to 5 years old are especially adorable and extremely teachable. I am not your ordinary Child Care Provider. I definitely don't consider myself a babysitter. My staff and I actually spend time TEACHING your children. At Tiny Babe's Playhouse, we are educators. No baby is too young to be exposed to educational environments. Our expertise is teaching extremely young children to excel, particularly in reading, math, and alphabets, telling time, multiplying and spelling. We have a 4 year old that came in 6th place in a Spelling Bee. All the other children in the competition were 5 & 6 years old. They were required to spell words as tough as locomotive, stethoscope, comprehension, economical, kindergarten and much more. Of course, our goal is to make sure your child is phonemically aware so that s/he can SPELL and READ anything. We provide 2 heart-healthy meals and 2 heart-healthy snacks per day. No fried or processed foods. We schedule educational & fun field trips, and go to the library often during the summer. The pandemic, however, as altered field trips for now. My staff has over 40 years of experience combined working with young children. We absolutely love teaching them and challenging their little brains. Our facility teaches basic American Sign Language (ASL), basic Spanish, History, Science & Global Studies. Three to four (3 to 4) years of your child being enrolled in our child care your child is GUARANTEED to be at least 3, yes THREE years academically advanced. Enrolling your child early (as young as infant stages) is best. Why? Because we can GUARANTEE by the time your child is 4 years old, they'll be able to read on a 1st or 2nd grade level, write, do basic math, tell time, be ACADEMICALLY prepared for 1st grade, and know their phonics so well they'll be able to help YOU with misspelled words. :-) "We make sure learning is fun" so call us and schedule a tour of our facility. You are sure to be pleased. Click the link above and visit our website.
